Pic of the day. Here's Dr. Eggman's machine, Eggrobo. It'll appear as a guest character in Smash Run and attack you with laser beams.

It's possible sakurai is holding back snake for a long time just so he can go "kept you waiting, huh."

I thought the main deal was Wii Fit Trainer and Animal Crossing Villager being predicted correctly, which virtually no one else did (especially not in combination).

ALSO predicting Palutena, Pac-man, Mii, and Little Mac is just bonus.
Leak #1 was right before E3 2013. It foretold Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Mii and Little Mac.

Half of those happened, and then Rosalina, and then Little Mac.

Leak #2 was right before the April Smash Direct. It reaffirmed Pac-Man and Mii, and added Palutena, Shulk, Chrom, Chorus Men, and Pokémon from X and Y.

Pokémon from X and Y turned out to be Greninja. We've already discussed the reason for the vagueness being that Sakurai finalized a slot for an X/Y Pokémon before Greninja was chosen. Thus, the leaker saw it early.

Leak #3 came right before E3 2014. It reaffirmed Pac-Man and Mii, and included the name Mii Fighters, which turned out to be true. And it once again said that Palutena, Shulk, Chrom and Chorus Men were coming. And that Lucas might be cut.

The Egg Robo from Sonic & Knuckles (or Sonic 3 & Knuckles, since Sega wants to count them as one game). It's used as a decoy to carry out tasks that Eggman himself would normally do, like deal with Knuckles in the game. It can also be found as a killable Badnik in stages, Sky Sanctuary for example. It's an enemy in Smash Run.

Funny, I just posted a Sonic gif.


oh! sonic trophies, my memory is hazy, but there werent really any sonic trophies besides sonic himself and maybe shadow, right?
There's a Metal Sonic trophy in the E3 2014 sizzle reel of the features in the 3DS version.
 
Wait a second, I had no idea Japan was getting the game almost a month in advance. What the hell, that full roster knowledge is gonna taunt me well in advance, it's Brawl all over again. A shame it isn't a worldwide release, and almost a surprise after Pokémon did so well with it.

NOA is fucking incompetent.

If he's not announced by now, it's not going to happen.

There's no real reason to wait, all the other third party characters were included with some sort of event (E3. announcement of three-game Sonic exclusivity deal) but there's sort of nothing between now and when Smash officially comes out in Japan.

I also think pictures like this basically say "Yeah, these are the third parties in this game."

I dunno, I think Snake could still happen. And, as others have already noted, keeping him until the last minute provides the perfect opportunity to use his "Kept you waiting, huh?" line, lol.

Also, regarding the image with Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Sonic, you could say the same about this post:

"Pic of the day. The trio as joint co-stars. Who is the strongest of them all?!"

Snake could still be coming. I do think that there's a very real possibility that he won't be back, but it's still very possible that he may indeed be back again, as well.

All excellent points.

Im talkin about in brawl.
 
I don't really see that picture as disproving my point. It's just another picture.

I think Sakurai very clearly made the first match of Pac-Man's reveal a four-player match with Mario, Pac-Man, Sonic, and Mega Man for a reason.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
You guys think we'll have Eggman appear as a Stage Boss?

Sakurai said he was holding back stuff about the Lost World Stage, right? Maybe Eggman appears there.

Knuckles is the one Sonic character who never seems to rub me the wrong way, so I'd be fine with him in Smash, especially if all of his camp-tastic rap songs from SA2 were in the game. *

* by Knuckles I mean the OG Knuckles, not that brawny bandaged boy

Eggrobo, that's sick.

I'm pretty sure there's going to be a Nintendo Direct in August. Snake could be revealed there.

Also, nice with that Sonic pic! I almost hate that I'm confident that he'll return.

No, it's not just another picture, Sakurai clearly calls them THE TRIO. In fact, this picture caused a lot of people to assume that Sonic & Mega Man were the only third party characters. Exactly like what you're doing.

I think Sakurai very clearly made the first match of Pac-Man's reveal a four-player match with Mario, Pac-Man, Sonic, and Mega Man for a reason.
I think Sakurai very clearly made Sonic's reveal trailer start with Mario, Mega Man & Sonic battling it out for a reason.

I could see them revealing Snake and later having a screen of Snake, Pac-Man, Sonic and Mega Man that says "All of the guests have arrived!"

Okay, you guys win. Snake is totally going to be revealed soon.
Aw, c'mon, don't be that way. I don't think anyone here is saying it's certain that Snake is safe. Just saying we can see a possible way he's still in, and that the screen in question doesn't necessarily preclude him. :)
 
It wasn't random, it was the Nintendo Direct right before Sonic Lost World launched. The announcement was clearly a tie-in to Lost World.
It was random in that most people expected him to be revealed on the day Lost World came out, not weeks before. The point remains that it was just as uneventful as any other veteran. Not even comparable to Mega Man and Pac-Man's reveals.

Nothing anyone is saying convinces me that Snake being cut is a given... NOTHING. When Sonic was revealed, Sakurai was really playing up the "trio" aspect in the same way he's playing up the "four icons" aspect now that Pac-Man is revealed. The only reason people had any hope for Pac-Man was because of Namco's involvement and the leak. Nothing Sakurai has said or done points to Snake being cut.

I'm afraid that SmashGAF's Hypes are going to crash when we don't get what we want.
I wonder if people will lose hype for the WiiU version after playing the 3DS version first. You know, kind of get Smash out of their system, so to speak. All the mystique is gone once the roster is known.

He might be hidden amd Sakurai might now want to reveal him. That appearance could've just been a "hey guise dont wurry im hur!"
When it comes to vets, Mr. G&W is to me what Snake is to you.

It feels like a terrible tease being shown him and then not seeing him on the website.

Seriously, guys:

A PotD of Snake, Pac-Man, Mega Man and Sonic.

Caption: "All of the guests have arrived!"

It's too perfect.
